Rumor: New Nexus 7 specs, features and launch details mentioned in chat with Asus rep

Screenshots of an alleged chat between a customer and an Asus representative seem to reveal the specs and features of the announced device but also launch details.

According to the images in the gallery below, initially posted on Google+ by a lawyer, an unnamed customer has recently chatted with an unnamed Asus rep about the Asus K009, with the latter mentioning details about the launch of the tablet, but also some specs and features.

We have no way of confirming the details offered in the dialogue (a transcription of it is available below), and we have no idea whether the screenshot shows an actual conversation that has taken place or whether it has manufactured.

However, it’s very strange for an employee to reveal such details about an unannounced product, and it’s even stranger to see him/her present to the customers specs and features that may or may not be final. Not to mention that this particular Asus employee does not know when the second quarter of the year actually ends. That said, here’s the full alleged chat:

Asus Employee: Hello [redacted name], How may I help you?

Customer: Hi I’m interested in buying the Asus k009? Do you know when it would be released to the public?
